Thanks for posting this Eric.
This is my 1950 B2-PW126. It was originally a U.S. Forest Service truck from Idaho. I bought it from Herb Hobi about seven years ago. I dissassembled it to the bare frame and rebuilt it. I'm still working on the bed.
It has a replacement engine, solenoid starter, later NOS carb with mechanical accelerator pump and throttle cable rather than rod, but other than that Ive tried to keep it as original as possible. I went with Pine Green and gray interior from the mid-fifties rather than the original Dodge Truck Dark Green. The front fendors are from Thailand, courtesy of VPWs.
This is my first rebuild/restoration project and I've learned alot in the process.
